The idea of translation software on the web-based framework is becoming increasingly popular with major manufacturers. For example, Microsoft is going to make its new software package, Office 2010 is much more oriented to work in the network, and Internet giant Google recently announced its "cloudy" operating system Chrome OS.

Given all this, there will be nothing surprising in the fact that Apple may provide a "cloudy" version of any software product, for example, office suite, iWork. Moreover, an obvious allusion to such developments is contained in regular vacancies, published by Apple. Of these, it is clear that the unit iWork invites to work the developers, whose task is to create scalable web applications with rich functionality.

Recall iWork suite of applications already have a web site that allows users to upload documents to it and comment on them. However, this service does not allow to make any editorial changes in the posted documents. Journalists TechCrunch pointed out that Apple is seeking developers to help it create a completely new product in the family of iWork, which is likely to be more focused on the work of the World Wide Web.

At the same time, the fact of publication of this job means that Apple is a relatively early stage of development of a "cloud" iWork. Experts note that the establishment of such a product would "fruit" of the company is better positioned to compete with Microsoft and Google. The latter, incidentally, has already introduced its free online office Google Docs, which includes word processor and spreadsheet, as well as service to create presentations.

The largest online store Amazon announced a nature to affect the entire market of typographic production. The fact is that the device for e-book reader Amazon Kindle is not only in itself has become the most popular Christmas and New Year gift, ahead of even the media player iPod touch, but also contributed to the tremendous growth in popularity of the actual e-books.

According to Amazon, e-books in a proprietary format for the Kindle for the first time surpassed the level of sales of their paper counterparts. This achievement is a significant milestone not only for Internet-oriented companies, namely, the Amazon, but in general the market for electronic books.

The above statistics of the Amazon means that the transition to electronic dissemination of typographic production, when the user simply loads the selected product on its "reading room" or the computer is much faster than in the music industry.

Recall that in the outgoing year, Amazon introduced the second version of its "reading room" called Kindle 2. This device is equipped with a 6-inch display technology-based "electronic ink", whose resolution is 600 x 800 pixels, and 2 GB of internal memory, USB-port and 3G functionality. Among other things, a tablet computer Apple, whose announcement may take place in late January, according to rumors, it is focused on reading electronic versions of books and periodicals.

Scientists from the center of the Belgian Interuniversity Microelectronics Center have created a technology that allows you to charge the battery from the heat of the human body. This system can be implemented in the form of tape, which is attached to the man's head, or a wristwatch. They can be quite stylish and virtually indistinguishable from the usual accessories. Thus, the warm human body will be collected and then converted into electrical energy. And the device will charge a special shirt, which also looks quite normal.

However, the heat emitted by the human body are sufficiently small, so the next goal - the creation of devices that this energy will be sufficient. That is what scientists now doing. Apparently, such a system will soon be able to charge a compact media player or mobile phone. And then the technology can be adapted for military industry - for charging the electronics field. It is not clear when the Interuniversity Microelectronics Center plans to launch commercial sales of its development.
